About Mae

Mae Lu is a Canada-born, So-Cal-raised Asian American 30 Something, living a dream with her hubby & dog in the magical kingdom of Hawaii.

This red-lipstick aficionado designs websites for a living and runs a fledgling lifestyle YouTube Channel in her spare time. On the weekends, if she's not filming, you can find her behind the lens of her Sony A6000, shooting scenery in Hawaii, hiking the hills and ridges of her beloved island home, or chasing the perfect sunset.

Why "thereafterish."? Because "and they lived happily ever thereafter" is just half of every story, and this is mine.

Fall Inspiration: Back to School Geek Chic

August 19, 2010

The back to school craze is not limited to just teenagers and young would be college coeds; the Back to School time of year is a time of seasonal transition which heralds a feeling of change, renewal or metamorphosis.

Nerd and geek style is less about being a nerd than embracing your inner brainiac and channeling it to show your razor-sharp wit, lightning-quick intellect. It’s chic, it’s comfortable, and least of all, you don’t have to worry about putting on drying, uncomfortable contacts.

All the pieces in this look are available at Forever 21, and are so affordable it’s easy to buy more than just one style to create a whole wardrobe of Geek Chic looks.
